Did Lyserg deserve his redemption (2001)?

Is it just me, or did Yoh & the others forgive Lyserg way too easily in the 2001 anime. Like, he almost got you guys banished to the shadow realm just to kill Hao, and you're gonna forgive him just like that?

Granted, I wanted them to eventually become friends again, and I know they had to defeat Hao, but I personally feel it happened way too quickly.
